I haven't died apparently, I'm still here - I just didn't feel like writing. Things to tell?
- We had a lecture of a Stasbourg University professor. He speaks perfect Russian and is absolutly charmant - I guess we all (girl part) had a tiny crush on him.
- After finishing monsieur Sartre's "The Nausea" (brilliant) I couldn't resist and succumbed to the desire to read Nabokov's "Other shores" over. And let me declare him as a Kinf of Inversions, because he is.
- I'm attending MM's concert in may.
- I feel like the Western History textbook is one of the saddest books ever - there's nothing that would be that good at breading the wanderlust.
- Deutsch gives me goosebumps. In a good way. And I have some curious plans for summer holidays, hmmmm, fingers crossed.
"Other Shors" is not only my fav book of Nabokov but one of my fav books ever (there are not so much). I just feel him. Or feel like him. I know it sounds like a bad cliche but very true indeed. And I'm keeping finger crossed for my summer vacation either :-D
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean - there's something absolutely apecial about Nabokov, what makes him stand-out. He's somewhere in-between - not exactly Russian, not American, just so him.
ReplyDeleteAns yes, the book is brilliant. I can't get over the way how N. is mastering the langiage. I am so fascinate and in the same time so jealous.
